The Australian plant collections of Diels and Pritzel 1900–1902
GIBSON, N., Nuytsia 29: 25–56 (2018)
Ludwig Diels and Ernst Pritzel undertook a two year collecting trip between 1900–1902 that included Western Australia, the eastern seaboard and New Zealand. Material collected on this expedition resulted in publication of over 300 new taxa. The loss of many of Diels’ types during a bombing raid on Berlin in 1943 has resulted in a need to designate neotypes for many of these names. The history and possible nomenclatural significance of the joint collections they donated to the Western Australian Museum in 1901 is examined to assist identification of candidate material.
Hydrocotyle spinulifera and H. dimorphocarpa (Araliaceae), two new Western Australian species with dimorphic mericarps
PERKINS, A.J., Nuytsia 29: 57–65 (2018)
Commersonia corniculata (Malvaceae), a new name for C. cygnorum
SHEPHERD, K.A. AND WILKINS, C.F., Nuytsia 29: 67–68 (2018)
Tephrosia pedleyi (Fabaceae: Millettiae), a new species from the west Kimberley of Western Australia
BUTCHER, R., Nuytsia 29: 69–73 (2018)
An update to the taxonomy of some Western Australian genera of Myrtaceae tribe Chamelaucieae: 5. Hysterobaeckea
RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 29: 75–107 (2018)
Eight new species belonging to Hysterobaeckea (Nied.) Rye are described: H. cornuta Rye, H. glandulosa Rye, H. graniticola Rye, H. longipes Rye, H. occlusa Rye, H. petraea Rye, H. pterocera Rye and H. setifera Rye. Hysterobaeckea ochropetala (F.Muell.) Rye is broadly delimited and two new subspecies are described as subsp. cometes Rye and subsp. reliqua Rye. The new subspecies H. setifera subsp. meridionalis Rye is also described. Six of the new taxa have conservation priority. A key is given for the named members of the genus.
Eucalyptus revelata, a rare new species related to E. mooreana (Myrtaceae) from the Kimberley region of Western Australia
NICOLLE, D. AND BARRETT, R.L., Nuytsia 29: 109–118 (2018)
Two variants of E. mooreana W.Fitzg. s. lat., a rare species from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, are found to be specifically distinct. A revised description of E. mooreana is provided and E. revelata D.Nicolle & R.L.Barrett is described to accommodate plants with a more sprawling habit, less powdery and less uniformly-coloured bark, non- or weakly-pruinose features, green leaves and generally smaller fruits. Both E. mooreana and E. revelata are restricted to steep rocky slopes and mountain ridges in the higher parts of the King Leopold Ranges. A key to the terminal taxa of Eucalyptus ser. Subexsertae (Benth.) Blakely (the ‘northern white gums’) is provided. Authorship of the name E. mooreana is discussed and attributed to W.V. Fitzgerald rather than J.H. Maiden. A new lectotype is designated as the previous designation was found to be ineffective.
